Get a good thimble that fits I prefer a crown style thimble just make sure the depressions are large enough that your needle dosen't slip off when using. Then wear your thimble during the day you get used to it that way the feel of it on your finger. After a few days try quilting with it you will find it easy to use your thimble because your finger is used to having it on! Good luck with your quilting I have one thimble I use for quilting and several others I use for sewing once you are used to the thimble you will always enjoy and use them.
